I hate tomatoes when they are out of season. That thing looks totally flavorless. the meat looks good though.

Hey jeffie, whats's up with handsonkitchen anyway? I go on there every so often and it seems like no one ever posts.
 
Because no one post, start posting and I'll reply =)

Tomatoes were out of season, and even when in season unless they're grown locally, they're still picked unripe and gassed till they turn red. Again not much flavor, as far as the salad goes that thing rocks.
 
bahhh. no offence that looks kinda nasty...
What looks nasty about it? I'd take the onions off, but other than that it looks delicious. hopefully soon i will have enough $$ to cook some real food, and not these $1 tv dinners, oatmeal, and ramen noodles.
 
Looks good to me but I'm not a fan of tomatoes, so I'd skip them, other than that :thumbsup:

I made some awesome turkey, homemade mashed potatoes and steamed veggies yesterday. Best thing I cooked in a long time. :drooling: thinking of the taste. It was only like $13 bucks for a decent sized meal for 5 people.
 
I had pizza yesterday....... with TOMATOES! White pizza with spinache and tomatoe. mmmmm. That dish looks pretty good, I'm a big fan of salads.
 
We made a couple of the other recipes you posted here and they came out good. So I imagine this would taste ok. I think if it were put on the plate in a different way it would make it look better, thats all.

That's how it's done in Vietnam, so I did it that way. I'm not really trying to please anyone other then people who are looking for the recipe. If they see it all American looking they'll go, meh, just another wannabie recipe.
 
Fresh tomatoes always taste bitter to me, so take those off and I'd plow through that.

I find that fresh tomatoes taste super sweet, however it's almost never I find a "fresh" tomato unless I pick it off the vine myself. Vine ripe tomatoes in the local stores? hahahha yeah right.
 
Well Either or. I can eat salsa and ketsup , but I hate tomatoes on a burger.
